And Other Property Damage is Prom-

a Few Heads as a
Side Issue.
London. Kugland is on the brink ol
another campaign by the suffragets, in
comparison with which former out
breaks of the militant women will ap-
pear insignificant. :!,000 policemen
were engaged in dispersing huge
crowds gathered near the parliament
building, shopkeepers were boarding j
up show windows and excited women l
were making incendiary speeebis in j
•everal litis.
« The women believe the politicians J
have played a carefully studied trick
upon them and the decision ot' the
government to drop the franchise bill
1b likely to lead to serious conse
quences.
In the house of commons the speak-
er, .lames W. Lowther, in response to
an inquiry by the prime minister an
nounced that if any of the amend-
ments to the franchise bill givinq
women the vote should be adopted he
would be obliged to rule that they
must be substantially a new bill, which
would compel its withdrawal.
Mr. Asquith thereupon announce!
that the cabinet had decided thai
under such circumstances, It would be
useless to proceed. This was an-
nounced to a crowded house which
displayed more interest in the subject
than had been shown in the last
stages of the ohine rule bill.
Police Sorely Pressed.
The suffragets held many heated
meetings Mrs. Emmaline Pankhurst,
and other leaders, denounced both the
enemies and the supporters of suffrage
in the cabinet for their treachery.
They declared an end of
Standing for Conservatism and Protec-
tion, It Must Have Learned Its
Lesson and Move Along Pro-
gressive Lines.
No one can read the history of the
United States without becoming con-
vinced of the fact that this is neither
a radical nor a free trade nation.
Herein is the hope of the Republican
party. It stands for conservatism and
protection. It must not, however, be
extreme in its devotion to either
principle. It must proceed along pro-
gressive lines as far as is consistent
with constitutional government and
without invading the domain of social
ism, and it must not grant unneces-
sary and extortionate protection. Its
leaders, or the men who will lead it
in the future, must have learned a leB-
son. Instead of being discouraged by
defeat they must realize that events
are shaping themselves so as to make
their party the nucleus of one of the
two great political organizations in
the future, provided, of course, that
the Democratic policy concerning the
tariff seriously affects business condi-
tions, so as to produce a feeling of
real dissatisfaction in the country, and
that the Republican leaders have the
wisdom to promise that the errors
committed in the past will not be com-
mitted in the future.
Woodrow Wilson naturally believes
in a college education for boys anil
girls alike," said a banker at the
Princeton club in New York.
"Mr. Wilson, lunching w ith me here,
once said in his quaint way that the
old Idea about a college education un-
fitting lad for work had quite died
out.
"We no longer hear," he declared,
stories like that of Gobsa (Jolde.
"When (iolisa Uolde's son Scatter-
good," he explained, "desired to go to
Princeton, lie said to the old man:
" Pater, is it true that boys who go
to college are unfit for work after-
ward?'
" Of course it ain't true!' snorted
the old man indignantly. Why, I've
got a Princeton graduate runnin' my
freight elevator, two of my best coal
heavers are Harvard A. B.'b, and a
Vale li, S. is my star driver.'"
THE FLYING AGE.
Taft's Third Message.
The third installment of President
Taft's message was sent to congress
at an ill-chosen moment. In the house,
where everything was confusion 011
account of the adjournment over the
holidays, the message was not even
received. In the senate it had a per-
functory reading. Mr. Taft, having de-
layed it so long, might have waited
until after New Year's.
There are important subjects among
those discussed in the message— nota-
bly, conservation, Alaska, pure food
legislation. Mr. Taft's indignant ref-
erence to the charge that his action in
the case of fourth-class postmasters
was political, in the sense that he
wished to intrench Republican job-
holders, regardless of merit, in placing
the truce j them under the classified service, is
"TIow
child?"
"It can't be more than
It's just learning to fly."

which the women had observed while j
awaiting parliament's action on the :
bill.
' Deeds, not words." vas the motto j
displayed above the platform where ,
Mrs Pankhurst spoke. She asserted j
that the women would consider human
life sacred, but would do as much dam- ]
age to property as possible.
Some of her lieutenants failed to
agree with her policy. Mis Annie Ken- j
ny, one of the most prominent of the j
militants, advocated the smashing of 1
both property and heads. The execu-
tive committee of the National Union j
of Women's Suffrage societies adopted ]
a resolution rejecting Mr. Asquith's
offer of facilities for a private member
bill next session.
A number of speakers said the
women had prepared a plan of action
which, for the present, was secret, but j
which would startle the world.
JIM THORPE IS
A PROFESSIONAL
Famous Indian Athlete Confesses That
He Has Played Baseball
For Money
New York.—James Thorpe, the
Indian athlete, Olympic champion and
all-American full back in 1912, ad-
mitted that charges of professionalism
brought agftinst him were true and
formally retired from amateur ath-
letics. Thorpe had played baseball
for a Balary on a professional team
three years ago while a student of the
Carlisle Indian school.
justifiable. He has been a consistent
advocate of the extension of the merit
principle, and had congress acted on
his recommendations there would now
be little to remind us of the spoils
system. His motive in extending the
classified service was unquestionably
pure and high. Still, eleventh-hour ac-
tions are certain to beget suspicion
and misconstruction in this imperfect
world, and it is best to avoid even the
appearance of "politics."
Congress will have no time to legis-
late on the major questions treated in
the third message, but the discussion
of them is profitable. We imagine
that the president-elect will be among
the attentive and appreciative readers
of the final Taft communications to
congress, as they are full of informa-
tion and give one an excellent idea of
the unfinished business that must be
disposed of in the next congress.
ECZEMA FOR TEN YEARS

about ten years, the most tormenting
and agonizing. It was dry eczema, all

FUSS OVER PECANS
BROUGHT ON FIGHT.
Young Farmer of The Lela Neighbor-
hood Said to be Fatally
Stabbed.
Perry.—In a fight near Lela, Okla.,
Clover Dunn, age 22, was fatally
stabbed by Thomas Stone and his son,
Aaron Stone.
According to the details of the
flght which reached this place, the
trouble between the parties orose over
payment for a bushel of pecans picked
<0 by the Stone lad and sold to the
Dunn boy. Tom Stone took up the
quarrel his son had started with young
Dunn, and was knocked down by
Dunn. Stone and his boy drew their
knives and slashed Dunn in the neck,
back and lungs, inflicting wounds
from which the statement is made he
may not recover. He is unconscious.
Both families in the affair are re-
spected farmers of the Lela neighbor-
hood.
All Ready For The Inauguration.
WashingU n.—Only the signature of
President 1 aft now is needed to the
resolution of congress authorizing the
inaugural committee to erect stands
on public space, stringing wires for
special illumination and borrow flags
and ensignB from the war and navy
departments to carry out its plan tor
the ceremonies incident to the inaugu-
ration of President-elect Wilosn. The
resolution passed the senate and al-
ready has been approved by the h'juse.
Republicanism and Progress.
Senator Prince of New Jersey, de-
scribed as a Republican, will be a can-
didate for the nomination i'or gover-
nor next year, and says, as Indicating
his platform: "The Republican party
must yield to the progressive spirit of
the times."
Amitted. But what is the progres-
sive spirit of the times? Who are its
representatives, and how far and in
what direction do they propose going?
Progress is imperative. There was
never a party that stood still; and
certainly, at this time of day, the Re-
publican party could not by any influ-
ence be held rigid in its tracks.
But in the matter of taxation, shall
It advocate progress out of the policy
of protection? In the matter of trusts,
shall it advocate the smashing of busi-
ness in an effort to correct a few-
abuses of aggregated capital? In the
matter of the currency, shall it advo-
cate the overthrow of accepted princi-
ples of finance in an effort to shackle
the cunning of a few Wall street
money kings? And in the matter of
the courts, shall it put the Judges and
their decisions at the mercy of the ex-
perts and savants of the curbstone?
Whenever the Republican party
yields to that spirit it will cease to be
the Republican party. Nominations in
its name, whether in New Jersey or
elsewhere, will not be worth a conti-
nental.
Can't Blame Protection.
Henry' Watterson says that as Afri-
can slavery killed the old Democratic
party, so the protective tariff has
killed the Republican party. We sus-
pect that this will not be found any
more convincing than the verdicts of
coroners' juries usually are. The Wil-
son vote was not large enough to
warrant the assumption that the Re-
publican party went to pieces on this
issue.—Philadelphia Record.
Business Man's President.
Mr. Taft, if he were Judged by his
message alone, would be known aB the
"business man's president," He places
the utmost emphasis upon the com-
mercial side of foreign relations, and,
moreover, he justifies the wisdom
the policy and aim by Bhowing that
in making diplomacy the "handmaiden
of commerce" the consequent closer
trade relations furnish the surest
foundations for peace and good will
among the world nations.—Philadel-
phia Ledger,
Her Great Love.
They had already celebrated the fact
that the mistletoe hung in the hall,
and now they were occupying not only
one settee, but also the entire drawing
room.
"Could you love ire, darling," he
murmured, as the thought of that
sprig of mistletoe came to him again,
"If 1 possessed only one coat in the

"Recently," says a Richmond man,
"I received an invitation to the mar-
riage of a young colored couple for-
merly in my employ. 1 am quite sure
that all persons similarly favored were
left in little doubt as to the attitude
of the couple. The invitation ran aB
follows:
" You are invited to the marriage
of Mr. Henry Clay Barker and Miss
Josephine Mortimer Dixon at the
house of the bride's mother. All who
cannot come may send.''—Lippincott's

Dr.Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery

stomach, correct liver ills and in nature's own way
enrich the blood, tone the entire system and con-
sequently help in the restoration of perfect health. Many
who have used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery tes-
tify that they have been restored to health when suffering
from stomach and liver ills. Let this famous old medicine

DOWN TO THE BARE FACTS
Young Minister's Passion for Self-Sac-
rifice Had Results That Might
Have Been Anticipated.
Tlie announcement of Miss Helen
Miller Gould's betrothal led one of the
charity workers of New York to say:
"Marriage itself will not be able to
quench Miss Gould's passion for giv-
ing. Apropos to this passion, she once
told me a story.
"There was a young minister, the
story ran, who, being poor and hav-
ing nothing else to give, used to give
away his clothes.
"The young minister's district con-
tained many needy men, and he would
give them shoes and socks, shirts and
coats, gloves, overcoats and trousers.
"Yes, time and again he would give
away his clothes, foolishly and reck-
lesly, piece by piece, until—"
Here the charity worker emiled.
"Until," she ended, "he came to
himself!"

language when he got into such severe

cano. In reviewing the lesson she
drew on the blackboard her own con-

Wedding Rings That Wear.
The next time you are married—or,
If you will, when you are married—
don't buy a gold wedding ring. It isn't
being done. Platinum wedding rings
are the newest thing. Mile. Jeanne
Provost, a French actress, Is to blame.
She thought of the idea, and when she
was married to M. Firpo, she had one.
Platinum rings are more, expensive
than gold and wear better. Just why
an actress, especially a French
actress, should want a wedding ring
that will last a long while the jewelers
haven't learned.
A Diplomat.
Son—Pa, is a diplomat a man who
